Prompt: Write a poem about a romantic experience or encounter

I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. I remember how I fell in love with your eyes, and their green color reminded me of evergreens. Your smile gave me tingles in my chest and became my sunshine on rainy days. I automatically felt a strange yet strong connection, and its one I'll never forget.

As our friendship grew so did the length of our conversations. I always felt a sense of warmth and comfort when I was around you, maybe it was the way your ginger hair reminded me of gingerbread and the crisp fall colors. There was one conversation that stood out to me, one that I keep in my heart and think about every now and then. It was the conversation where you told me I was beautiful, and you admired my heart and had completely fallen for me. In that moment I admitted how I had fallen for you as well, and considered you my best friend.

From then on life was like a fairytale, I had a hand to hold and arms to run to when the world turned dark and cold. You were the dream guy I wanted, and you were the one I decided to plan ahead with. We planned what we would do when you left for college and I would still have two more years of high school, you said you'd never leave and didn't want anyone else. I believed you, and we thought about trying to go to the same college. We planned where we would get married, how many kids we would have, what they would look like, and where we would live. It was a dream we planned out together and we were going to do whatever it took to make it come true, we promised each other we would.
But that was a mistake, we were caught up in a children's fairytale, not yet exposed to the real world.
And we realized this but we continued to make the most of our two years together, before we would have to make a big choice, a choice we knew would affect us greatly.

Then we cut our time short, things got worse for me at home and I took out my anger and heartache on you. That wasn't right, and I'm sorry. But you told me it was too late, you told me we needed to go separate ways until my heart could heal. I saw tears flood from your eyes, and it seemed as though they fell along with mine at the exact same moment. Our eyes both as green as the lush jungles of the Amazon, and our hearts both as broken as shattered glass. We were each others missing half, and now we would be missing a part of us again. I remember the sickening feeling I got in my stomach, and I felt like I had been shot in the chest with a thousand bullets. I knew if this moment ever came it would hurt but I never knew it would hurt like this, we agreed to give each other a break for two weeks. Then move on from their and see what happens… but it's only day two and I feel like I'm in a dream. None of this feels real, the pain is still there and still fresh. The last words you said to me were "I love you" and I said I love you back, I knew you meant it and it's what I hold on to every second of every hour of every day.
So I'll stay strong these two long weeks, in order to get back my best friend and the one my heart belongs to… you.
